Do any of you want to share your system for using the various note icons? I have a system, but I've been trying to improve it. Curious whether any of you are using them in any kind of systematic fashion.
- I have 3 baselines that I go to most often: 1. White plain box for notes that are simply tagged (I used to write my hashtags in the body of the note before real tagging became available. Actually...I still do, because tags aren't available on mobile devices) 2. Light Gray box for tags with basic/typical notes 3. Light Gray box with + symbol for notes that are anchored to more than one passage. (I used to use the X, but recently the + became available, which makes more sense. I'm currently switching notes over and may use the X for chiasms in the future). Each of these ^ I use with the standard "Use Icon Color" highlighter, and the gray keeps things looking pretty clean. I'll sometimes use the next shade darker gray if I'm making a note on a single word or two that are already within a larger highlighted area. This helps the highlight pop out so I know what content is annotated. Beyond that, I occasionally have traditionally used different colored triangles for different doctrinal notes and the golden circles for notes on the theology of God (although, in retrospect, the triangle might arguably be a better icon to represent God :) These get used with various custom highlighters I have created. And I probably use highlighters to distinguish various topics, moreso than note icons. My most common is just the light gray box. Also, I'll occasionally use a yellow box for notes that are not anchored to any passage. This is less common for me, but everyone works differently. I would encourage you not to feel pressured to use every tool in the arsenal, but judiciously pick out a few simple/clean icons and highlighter types that will begin to set the visual palette of the text you're reading every day! God bless
